Twelve-year-old Lily discovers that her dad’s boss, Larry, is a human-whale hybrid bent on taking over the world using robotic whales with laser eyes which walk on hydraulic stilts. It’s up to Lily and her friends Jasper and Katie to stop them. A spoof of books such as Goosebumps and turn-of-the-century boy wonder books, this one is too silly to be entirely successful. A 2008 YRCA nominee for grades 4-6.
